Red Alert2: Yuri's Revenge graphics Issue
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum so i am not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this. I downloaded the RA2+Yuri's Revenge (YR) bundle today from origin since it was free and played RA2 without any problems. Today I started YR and choose my faction, so far so good no problems whatsoever that other people were having with the games. Then the first mission loads and the screen goes black. Then it comes back and the screen is pressed against the left with black on the right. In addition to the 'halved' screens, the screen with the game playing (at normal speed and without lag) is miscolored- everything is purple, red, green, and blue pixels like the game cannot decide what colored pixels go where.

Specs and Game Settings
-----------------------------------------------------
Windows 10 x64 bit
NVidea 610GT
I3 Processor (it shoudnt matter since the class is already much more advanced)
640x480 Resolution with 16 colors- full screened (this was the same setting used for RA2 with which this problem, or any for that matter, did not occur)
Graphics setting- High
DirectX11 with 12 installed but not used since my card is not actually compatible

Let me know if anyone needs any other pieces of information to help me out.
@lethwyn Wooah. Trippy.
The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve a bunch of problems. It might help with this, too.
Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and launch the game again.[edit]
If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet installer for RA2/YR. It comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick.
